Are you dreaming of a new home? In this economy that dream is becoming less and less of a reality for many of us. But, you don’t have to give up hope. Just start dreaming about a smaller home.
The simplest and most effective way to slash the cost of a new house is to build less of it. For every few square feet of floor area that you don’t build, you’ll be saving hundreds or thousands of dollars now, and much more over the years in taxes, insurance cost, maintenance and the expense of heating and cooling.
Customized Kenora II Cabin
But, just how small can a home be? Well, take a look at the Kenora II Cabin, by TechArt.
It’s an attractive little getaway home. It would be perfect as a lakeside vacation home or cabana, or as a hunting or fishing camp. The 12′x14′ floor plan squeezes in a good size galley kitchen, a closet, a bunk room and a shower room. There’s a ladder to a small but bright loft for storage or extra sleeping space. A front porch extends the living space to the outdoors.
Because of the tiny size, the Kenora is one of the least expensive homes that you can build.
The inexpensive plan set that you can order includes 1/4″ scale footing plans, 1/4″ floor plan with electric notes, 1/4″ exterior elevations and a scaled building or wall section.
